If you are building a single machine standalone, you don't need LDAP. The LDAP thing, as I understand it, is that if you want to use a directory service, the only one supported is LDAP (instead of NIS, NIS+, etc).
But, if you just want one or a couple machines, you can skip the LDAP part and let them use their local directories for authentication. -- Mike On Tue, 2007-04-03 at 15:52 -0700, Fernando Vilas wrote: > I have been trying to install TX on Solaris 10u3 following the instructions > here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0867/6n39012nt?a=view > > At the point of "Make the Global Zone an LDAP Client", it mentions having to > setup an LDAP server, so I follow the link to here: > http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0867/6n39012p6?a=view > > When I get to step 8, "Use the ldapaddent command to populate every file in > the staging area", the command fails with "Container hosts does not exist". > That's if I create /var/ldap/ldap_client_file /var/ldap/ldap_client_cred to > get past the failure opening /var/ldap/ldap_client_file. > > This is a fresh install, just for testing TX, so I don't mind reinstalling at > all.
